Statute Of Limitations
On April 1 1995, I was pulled over and convicted of Driving under the influence. I refused the Breath-Alyzer test and had my license suspended for 1 year. Along with this suspension, I was also sentenced to a 72 hour intervention program. Within a year and half of my sentence, I was relocated to Connecticut and attempts to complete this program were not successful due to overcrowding. I am now living in California, and this part of my sentence has yet to be served.
Now, 5 and half years later, the city of Kent, OH has sent me letter requesting that I fulfill this requirement. Is their a statute on these sentences?

Re: Statute Of Limitations
No. There is a "Statute of Limitations" that applies to prosecution for a crime. But there is no such limitation applicable to a post-conviction sentence.
